Keeping things under wraps ???

[erocse]

  Just wondering if any of you have felt the same as I have at times? About coming out to ones parents. Originally when I started on this journey I thought that I would not have to come out to my parents, nor would I want to. Transitioning at a late age , my parents being in there 70s and me being in my 40s.  I thought I would be able to keep things "under wraps" , so to speak. I know this would have a lot to do with how I am progressing. I have always wore my hair long and they have always seen me as kinda odd. So that helps, I guess?

       What I am asking is, Are any of you ladies out there  sporting C or D cup  and can you still manage to pull of the guy thing, for a weekend around family?

        I know the physical aspects of this issue are not the only things I have to deal with. Each day that passes I find any traces of the guy I was less then tolerable. 

        My parents,: ....I have heard my dad say on occasion " they should round up all the homos and put them in a concentration camp and make'um work them til they die." I don't think my dad has ever heard the word "transgender".  My mom on the hand loves gay people. Both are very religious ( J Ws ) .

   By the way any former JWs out there?

   Thanks, Erocse

Both mine were gone by the time I finally came out.  Their never got to see their daughter.

Both my parents died before I came out, unfortunately.  I say unfortunately, because I know they wondered why I was so troubled and I wish I could have told them.

Some people can switch back and forth.  I found that after only a month of RLE I just could not go back.  I didn't pass well, and my body hadn't changed much - it was more of a psychological thing for me.  It had taken me so long to begin transition and it took so much of my effort to get started, that I just could not go back even for a few hours.

But we're all different.  YMMV.

Just something to think about: Will you be able to be free if you don't tell them?

Good luck, whatever you decide.

I always thought I'd keep it from my parents forever since they are very religious and would never understand, but the further I get into transition the more I desire just having them know. It's constantly weighing on me and even if they won't accept it I at least want to make them understand if only a little. Currently I'm trying to take some steps towards getting closer to my mom (we hardly know each other). If it goes alright and we eventually start being more open, then hopefully it will give me an opportunity to present it to her in a way that can make her understand that it's something I'm a victim of. For now I'm certain that if I told her that I'm trans she'd just think that it means I'm some kind of pervert or fetishist and she'd refuse to believe that I've had these feeling my entire life.

 Ayaname, It's nice to know I am not alone . I hope it goes well for you.

Janet and Kate,  Your parents would have been proud of there daughters . With as little as I know about all of you ladies. You make me proud, just to be a associated with you here.

  Thank you, Erocse

I know where I am, where I am going and where I am to be. The time of arrival is the only bit of Information  I am unsure of.
